Committee Purpose

The Partners Committee works closely with ACCA staff to cultivate and sustain meaningful, long-term relationships that benefit both the association and its members. Their primary goal is to develop a robust and enduring ACCA Partner program. Key responsibilities include identifying potential partner leads, facilitating introductions, and nurturing relationships to align with the associations and members' long-term objectives. Additionally, the committee will focus on creating a seamless progression from associate-level membership to becoming a valued ACCA partner.
